Self-Portrait (July 2023) Poem by Meng Lim Dr

Self-Portrait (July 2023)



The bright lights of the city
cause me much discomfort
to the softer I turn
they soothe my heart and thought-

you'll find me not
on the loud and seductive stage
instead at some distant corner
in contentment silently celebrate.
